Lesbian Artists of the Week,Tee Corinne

One of Tee Corinnes most popular pieces of work was that of the Cunt Coloring Book! All the drawings were done by Corinne which portray personality and an obscured vision on the beauty of a woman!


Before Corinne became a famous activ-art(activist through art), she spent 7 years as a married heterosexual until the '60s when she broke out and delivered the world an amazing feminist artist who had skills-to-kill! She was co-facilitator of the Feminist Photography Ovulars, and co-founder of The Blatant Image, A Magazine of Feminist Photography around 1983. Corinne was the author of one novel, three collections of short stories, two photo books, as well as four books of poetry and numerous artists books with small edition publications.

Corinne wrote about art for a variety of publications and, from 1987, was the art books columnist for Feminist Bookstore News. A co-founder and past co-chair of the Gay & Lesbian Caucus (an affiliated society of the College Art Association), she also co-founded the Women's Caucus for Art Lesbian & Bisexual Caucus. In 1991, she was chosen by Lambda Book Report as one of the fifty most influential lesbians and gay men of the decade, and in 1997 she received the Women's Caucus for Art President's Award for service to women in the arts.

Corinne passed away at the age of 62 at her house in Oregon where she had been battling cancer. Her partner Beverly of 16 years then passed on as well.
Corinne was at most an awesome educational and intelligent lesbian (as the majority of us are)!! I highly recommend checking out Tee Corinnes publications, as well as her photos, and don't forget the Cunt Coloring Book! It's just one of those things that you must have on your bookshelf if you are a true lesbian, just like the Vagina Monologues or the Lesbian Kama Sutra! Lesbians just own shit like that, that's why we are the true humdingers in this world!!

I leave you with a train of Tee Corinne...
